Chapter 101

"Where are you from, Blake Blakesly?"

Blake laughed off Steve's question and turned to his companion. "Humbot - is the coast clear?"

The other figure walked back to Steve and Jen. "I will make no weather jokes, Blake. We are safe for the moment."

"Wait, did he just speak in hypertext?" Jen said.

Blake sighed. "He did."

"What is going on here?"

"I'll be happy to explain, but we need to get you to a safe place."

"We're not going anywhere with you!" Steve said.

"He's right," Humbot said, "not until we test you to see if you are the one."

"Test? What?"

Without another word, Blake walked over to Steve and grabbed both of Steve's nipples and twisted.

"Ow! You son of a-"

"It's okay," Blake said. "He passed the test."
